User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

After installing the Java plugin I get:

[root@hardhat root]# mozilla
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/local/mozilla/plugins/java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so:
undefined symbol: __vt_17nsGetServiceByCID]



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mozilla 1.6 on RedHat 7.3
2.Hit a Java page, and download the plugin as prompted
3.Restart Mozilla and observe the error message. Java won't work.

Actual Results:  
None

Expected Results:  
If it prompts me to download a java plug in, I'd expect it download a compatible
plugin.  Or, Mozilla could include a compatible Java as part of the install kit.

This is a user level bug report, not a developer level bug report.

Nothing a reasonable user can do reveals the secret procedure for getting Java 
to work.  The plug-in appears to load, but fails.  This is a great location for 
a hack where Mozilla finds the plug in it needs all by itself.  So call it a 
feature request.

Possibly the same area. I am using Mozilla 1.7 RC2 on:
Linux linux 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 (SuSE 8).

I attempted to make use of the java 1.4.2 plugin using ln -sf:

With this line:

ln -sf /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/opt/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

This error is generate when Mozilla is run. Mozilla does start though:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]



With this line:

ln -sf /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/opt/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

This error is generate when Mozilla is run but Mozilla does not start:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

System error?:: Success

Wayyy too old to follow up on.  I've used SUSE linux for over a year now...
